End the taxpayer subsidised drinking culture of MP's in The House of Commons.
It's a known fact that MP's parliamentary bars are subsidised by the taxpayer. These are bars are serving alcohol in a workplace in working hours at cut prices.
We want to see a ban of any MP undertaking any parliamentary task under the influence of alcohol. and an end to MP's subsidised bars.
Being under the influence of alcohol in the workplace during working hours is unacceptable in most jobs in the UK and often an offence that could lead to instant dismissal though not at The House of Commons.
An MP's salary including a 10% pay rise in 2015 stands at £70,000. Why do these employee's of the state have any right to subsidised food and drink at the expense of us the working taxpayer?
The money saved from cutting this subsidy would be better used in our schools & hospitals.
